But gives me neither feet nor hands.

It bids me fly and gives me wings. Kenneth Wuest

How can it be? How can it be?
Was ever grace so full and free!
From heights of bliss to depths of woe
In loving kindness Thou didst go,
From sin and shame to rescue me-
O Love Divine, How can it be?
How can it be? How can it be?
That God should love a soul like me,
Oh how can it be? ~Avis Christiansen

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
*sigh* I feel better now. Nothing like a good dose of God’s grace to change a case of the “grumps” to inner calmness. ![]()
